Abstract
Background: With continuous progress in medical treatments, anesthetists will more often have to treat risk patients in dental surgeries. The incidence of systemic complications related to the administration of different types of anesthetics can be expected to rise. Therefore there is a need to compare the rate of incidence of complications with risk factors so we can minimize drug-related complications in patients undergoing dental anesthesia.
Aim and objective: The objectives of the study were to: 1-To evaluate the incidence rate of local anesthetic complications in dentistry. 2-To analyze the effect of different risk factors on the incidence of local anesthetic complications.
Methodology: Two hundred seven dental patients enrolled in this Cross-Sectional study. The patients were given lidocaine 2% with 1:100,000 epinephrine- by either infiltration or inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB)injection or by both techniques to induce anesthesia, then underwent different dental procedures. Performa was constructed to obtain patients’ information after formal consent. We focused on six Complications and six different risk factors regarding the total population.
Results: The overall Complications observed during the study were 11.5% of patients receiving local dental anesthesia in which non-risk factor patients were 6.7% and risk factor patients were 4.8% respectively. And according to gender-related complications, the overall percentage was higher in females about 7.2% than in males about 4,3%.
